Overview
ADempiere is translated into many languages. You can download
the different translations - called Language Pack - from
theDownload Page in SF
(https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=176962) .
The Language Pack is a set of XML files,which contain the
translation for the language that you choose. Those files are
version independent, so if you apply a pack to a newADempiere
version (and those files are from a older version), you will see
the new items not translated.
Generally the Language Pack is a compressed file (.zip, .rar,
etc.) containing a folder and into the folder a lot of files with
xmlextension. The folder is called as it_IT (for Italian
translation), sk_SK (for Slovak translation), etc.
The files have a format of: _Trl_.xml
by example: AD_Window_Trl_es_MX.xml, where AD_Window is the
table name and es_MX is the language (Spanish forMexican in this
case).
After you have the Language Pack downloaded, you must install
the new language. Here we describes the process to do it.
Note: In order to show you the process, we will choose the
Spanish MX translation to install.
You must change the selection to the language as you need.
Installing
Step 1: Preparing the Installation

Select Add Missing Translations in order to copy all the English
words into the translation areas. Wait until finish the
process.
Step 2: Installing the Language Pack.
As we said above, the Language Pack is a compressed file. Then,
extract it to any directory (the default directory
isADEMPIERE_HOME/data), but you can choose anywhere.
Please be careful: the language should be the same as you will
activate in the Step 1.
So, es_ES is not the same as es_MX!
